‘Bloom,’ born from a spontaneous cross-country drive, a short film by Vivian Kim ()

“Bloom was filmed five years ago when I had just started directing. There’s a naivety to the piece that I find endearing and true. There had to be an inner confidence and belief that what we were filming was worth our time, and a story worth capturing, even if it wasn’t spelled out explicitly. It’s easy to look outwards as a creative, at what others are doing, at what we could become more of. This process had me doing the opposite; I had to accept who I am and who I was, because I couldn’t change the perspective that had already been captured. All I could do was to craft a structure around it and put it out into the world.”

‘Bloom’ is now available to watch on Vimeo. Click the link in ’s bio to watch.

Pausing against the ordinary. By photographer, José De Rocco ()

“This group of images is part of a much larger body of work connected to my photographic practice over the
years, by now, nearly 20.

I have always been interested in the strangeness of the ordinary, of the everyday—how to escape routine
through a sense of wonder that struggles to fade, and which, with the help of photography, I try to hold onto.”

Artist Spotlight: For Berlin-based multidisciplinary artist Anastasia Pilepchuk (), mask making begins with the need to give form to something internal, untranslatable into language. A ritual of slowing down, following texture, letting form build itself through process. Drawing from the body, natural patterns, and material repetition, her work sits
at the threshold between object and transformation.

Fast forward 1000 years and she says, “Maybe the face itself becomes a kind of interface,
something that shifts depending on context. In a way, closer to what masks already are.”

BALLET by Thibaut Grevet ()

“This project sums up everything I’d love to do. From the athletics side, which echoes my background in shooting skate, to the art and fashion dimension — an opportunity to explore new techniques, experimenting with how Gjon Mili used synchronized flash, and interpreting it in my own way through a new approach.

What’s amazing about dancers is the way they’re able to use their body to fit the best photographic aspects — position their fingers, hands or shoulders, know exactly how much tension to put in the leg. They understand how the body reacts through the audience’s eyes, and the same can be said about the camera.

At its core, the project reflects every aspect of performance: preparation, repetition, training, concentration, and the calm before the big moment.”

Artist Spotlight: Brazilian textile artist Raphael Dias () transforms tapestry into spaces meant to be lived within.

Originally inspired by the landscapes and modernist language of Brazil, Dias’s practice draws from nature, architecture, photography, and the emotional rhythms experienced within the spaces he traverses. During his residency at La Maison de la Chapelle
() in the South of France, these influences evolved into a fully immersive
installation: a handcrafted three-dimensional textile environment.

“I learned to trust my ability to place myself outside of my zone of control and realize it’s possible to achieve something that once seemed unimaginable. To overcome personal and professional barriers — to understand the importance of immersion in the creative process.”

Dias’s installation now lives in the permanent collection at La Maison de la Chapelle, where guests can
stay among the works created during each residency.

Hair do’s, over the years and across the world by Sarah Van Rij ()

“This series has never been central to my work, but it’s more a small, recurring obsession. I’ve always been drawn to hair do’s, the way it can hold something of a person without revealing them. A gesture, a choice, a trace of identity. Seen from the back, it shifts the focus: away from the face, towards something more elusive.”

‘Manos Benditas,’ a photo project photographed and directed by that highlights
real street vendors whose labor sustains neighborhoods, traditions, and community.

“At a time when many vendors, regardless of citizenship status, are increasingly targeted,
racially profiled, and criminalized, this work seeks to humanize those too often reduced to policy
debates. Street vendors are the heart and soul of every city, forming the heartbeat of what makes this country so vibrant and beautiful. Manos Benditas functions as both a visual archive and a form of direct support during a time of heightened targeting and vulnerability by partnering with@midcitymercado’s Street Vendor Fund initiative to provide direct assistance.”

About Last Night: Earlier this month, Tiffany Day () released her highly anticipated
album HALO. We pulled up to her sold-out release show at to capture the
energy from within.
Behind Tiffany’s world, and much of what led up to this breakout moment, is her best friend and
lead creative Ally Wei (). From the album artwork and eight music videos to the viral
Bassfluff set, CD and merch design, tour admat, website, logo, and wheatpaste posters, Ally
has helped shape a visual language that feels both emotionally evocative and unmistakably
theirs.
What began as a friendship has grown into a never-ending world of play, rooted in a kind of
childlike spontaneity to mess around, experiment, and figure things out together.
“Ally gives me a really safe space to create,” says Tiffany. And for Ally, the process has always
been something deeper: “When I reflect on our past work, I think more about the memories
we’ve made together than the final product we released.”

Singaporean photographer and filmmaker Beixin () captures ‘Impression Lijiang’ in Yunnan, where music, dance, and ritual from more than ten ethnic minority communities unfold in quiet dialogue with the stillness of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.

“This body of work was approached with a focus on cinematic restraint and presence rather than spectacle. We deliberately avoided camera movements that might distract, keeping the attention on the songs, dances, and presence of each community. This allowed us to document how their traditions unfold quietly within the mountains — letting culture and landscape coexist without one overpowering the other.”

For Volume 27 of Creative Counts, we spoke with Sam Lim Achatz (), a creative strategist whose path has moved across fashion, media, beauty, hospitality—and now cannabis. With a mind wired for association, her practice centers on the moment something familiar begins to feel slightly different, opening up new ways of seeing and experiencing the world.

Through her brand Hi-Snaps (.snaps), Sam explores cannabis not as an escape, but as a subtle shift in perception. Drawing from surrealism, experimental gastronomy, and beyond, her work reflects a practice where creativity buzzes in conjunction with curiosity.

‘On the Road,’ captured during an aimless drive through Spain by photographer Mark Rammers (). At home on the road, he finds beauty in the ordinary while witnessing the continuous evolution of natural and man-altered landscapes.

“To me, the essence of discovery is not found in spaces of obvious beauty. While on the road, I usually only decide on a destination, never on the exact route. I keep my eyes peeled to the asphalt and its periphery, expecting to encounter intricate details or untold stories - not designed to be attractive, but simply fulfilling their part in the larger concept of the malleable world.

Artist Spotlight: For Alison Rodrigues ( ), painting begins with a simple instinct: to create something his 8-year-old self would have loved.

Having started drawing as a child, inspired by cartoons on TV and comic books, Rodriguez’s practice carries that same desire to build worlds of his own. An expert at meshing chroma’s, draws from urban landscapes tied to his Afro-Brazilian heritage.

A headlong race through a world where success can be measured in engagement and tragedy has become content.

In ‘Our Hero, Balthazar,’ Oscar Boyson’s () feature directorial debut, from a script co-written with Ricky Camilleri, two neglected teenagers are thrown together by a chance online encounter. Boyson, whose background helped shape independent culture as the A24/HBO producer behind Uncut Gems, Good Time, and projects spanning Greta Gerwig, Noah Baumbach, Jay-Z, and Casey Neistat.

Privileged yet lonely New Yorker Balthy (Jaeden Martell, ), eager to enact heroism to impress his activist crush, tracks down Solomon (Asa Butterfield, ), a Texas teen posting violent threats into the void. Also starring Noah Centineo (), what begins as a misguided attempt at intervention unfolds into an unlikely bond, a journey that transforms both their lives in ways both terrifying and absurd.

Darkly comic, unsettling, and deeply reflective of a generation raised online.

‘Reflections’, a meditative exploration of the boundaries between what is seen and what is felt.

“Milan and I leaned a lot on Andrei Tarkovsky’s Stalker for the texture of the film’s visuals, and for how the environment and atmosphere could form the foundation of the film’s feeling. We really wanted to immerse the viewer in that experience of slipping through reality. The use of reflections and silhouettes are all ways of loosening the hold of ‘the real’ to fall into something that feels transcendent.” -

Through layered composition and precise timing, Türkiye-born photographer F. Dilek Yurdakul’s () “Drone” series captures the world mid-pause, in fleeting moments of suspended tension.

As in her legal work, her photography carries that same purpose in seeking to engage with overlooked communities and contemporary social fractures.

“For Yurdakul, the drone is not technology but a shift in consciousness. In essence, it is no different from a camera, yet it grants access to angles the human body cannot reach. She believes vision is everything; without the ability to see, altitude means nothing. From above, she experiences the radical truth that changing perspective transforms the photograph itself. Through the drone, she witnesses the world from a bird’s eyes, or through a God’s eye view, where patterns emerge, silences become visible, and the ordinary reveals its hidden and mesmerizing beauty.”

A walk through Tokyo-born street photographer ‘s series ‘One Two Three,’ an intimate composition of fleeting moments with his daughters.

“I just click the shutter at moments in the life of my family.
In those unposed, unstaged scenes, I hear a certain kind of music.

Jazz.
Like the improvisation Eric Dolphy spoke of, if I miss the beat, it’s gone into the air, never to be captured again.

Through these photographs, I try to create more time for communication between parent and child—between myself and my three daughters—and to help nurture their self-esteem.

They show me such beautiful moments.
I feel they are gifts—moments given to me.
When those rare gifts appear in front of me, I can’t help but catch them.

Capturing these moments is the same as street photography.
I try to photograph them from a distance beyond personal space, so they can be shared with viewers, as street photographs are.

If someone asks me, “Are these photos art, or life?”
I want to answer: life is art.
I’ve never called my photography “art,”
but these moments show me what art feels like.”

Selections from ‘Screen Time’, a continuation of ‘s long-standing exploration of nostalgia and the emotions alongside.

Before ‘Screen Time’, Matthew’s shift from commercial photography toward abstraction began with his series ‘Above Ground’, a collection of 35mm images made through elapsed exposures from moving vehicles. What started as a mistake evolved into a deliberate practice, its genesis in the above-ground subway lines of New York and later beyond to cities around the world.

“The beginning of my series “Screen Time” probably started most in earnest after Kendrick Lamar’s halftime performance last year. I found myself fascinated in the conversation around it, and thought this could be an interesting way of participating in the discourse. Like “Above Ground”, there was something in this work that allowed people to recall a memory, or nostalgia of the performance, even tho it had just happened. Perhaps it evoked how they felt watching the performance instead of simply what they saw.

I can’t remember two collective viewing experiences more important to people (or so close in time to each other) than Bad Bunny’s halftime performance and Alysa Liu’s Olympic triumph. So many of us watched them together, and watched them the same way. And watched them again, and again. They offered a sort of joy and inspiration that has felt somewhat unattainable lately. In approaching the body of work in a similar way I have approached ‘Above Ground’ for over a decade - allowing enough room in the imagery for the viewer to ascribe their own meaning, I’ve been finding it interesting to explore the idea not exactly of what the collective conscience is, but how we remember those moments making us feel.”

It’s where it all began, and where I’ll never stop chasing the light.”

About Last Night: For six nights in January, took over NYC for his
USB002 residency, transforming ‘s warehouse into an interim of sound and
connection.

Behind the decks and deep in the crowd was , who’s been capturing Fred’s world for the past five years. Theo’s relationship with photography started early, when his older brother’s school project led them to build a makeshift darkroom in their home bathroom. A spark that’s since grown into a practice of chasing light in rooms filled wall to wall with crowds.

For Theo, it’s never been about the final image, but the free-floating emotions orbiting it.

“I’ve realised over time that the photos I love the most evoke real emotions. Hopefully that resonates with
people when they look at my work. Whether that’s the most joyful moment of a show, or the aftermath
when everyone is coming down from that high.”

Bondi by

“In the vibrant fabric of Buenos Aires, where the city’s pulse never stops, short-distance buses rise as symbols of urban dynamism. This series explores a lesser-known yet equally fascinating facet of these public transport icons: the graphic design that adorns them as a foundation.

– Instead of the advertisements and messages that typically saturate these surfaces, the viewer encounters compositions reminiscent of geometric abstract art, evoking a sense of order and harmony amid urban chaos.

Bondi, by removing the visual noise of signage, it urges us to look beyond the functional and appreciate the inherent aesthetics in the most mundane details of our everyday surroundings.”

Egg ad eggs then bread and butter by

“This project transforms our relationship to food by shifting the way we perceive, recognise, and engage with it/ treating food as something to be reimagined, invites us to reconsider our assumptions. It’s sculptural and playful (moulding butter and baking bread into the shape of an egg), whimsical but precise, minimalist (very my style). Re-contextualizing trompe l’oeil—and applying it to food.”
